6/08/2005. Ceferino Santana, dog Sonar and I walked back and forth in
this small linear park. I thought I might get access to the Still River
but there is a fence set up between the park and the river that is set in a big
ditch down below the park. I guess I could have bushwhacked down to the
river, but the descent is fairly steep and there does not appear to much of a
place to walk along the river. In a way, the river looks so sad, so
confined and restricted as it is in its ditch. It's almost as if the city
doesn't want the river, has only contempt for it and wishes it would have gone
away long ago. What a shame the cities have so much contempt for these
small rivers. Dr. Patrick L. Cooney.
